Video: Futureworks Incubator Product to Market Summit at Kickstarter

As part of the Futureworks Incubator, we hosted more than 30 startups at Kickstarter for an all-day summit. After breakfast, our early-stage companies presented to Mentors in a rapid succession of two-minute pitches. Then, they went round-robin to gain deeper insight from Mentors into how to improve their product-to-market journey. The summit closed out with Kickstarter’s Zach Dunham and industrial-design consultant Spencer Wright sharing best practices for running a crowdfunding campaign. Dunham and Wright’s The Public Radio went 4.5x over their goal with the support of more than 1,000 backers.

In the video above, Mentors share their perspective on companies and on what makes Futureworks Incubator a vital part of NYC’s industrial ecosystem. Below, pictures from the summit at Kickstarter.

Each startup had two minutes to present their company, product and challenges.
